It gives new meaning to the phrase from the famous Ronnie and the Daytonas song "three duesces and a 4-speed". 
We got pics. 
and....of course there is a story to go along with.

Alex,
NO! Looked at plenty of Boss 429's and other mustangs with tri-power, but never a 429.  Post them pictures and do tell.Dave & Terri ------------------

Yes, that car was at the MCA 25th anniv. show in Georgia, and was inside the vendor building at Charlotte. It was also featured in Mustang & Fords a year or two ago I think.

I think the Boss '9 tri-power was made about the same time (and in the same quantity- less than a dozen) as the Cleveland tri-power.
I assume the intake had an XE part number....
Ricky Smith once had a set of dual plug (factory) Boss 429 heads and a 4-weber intake. I think it came from the 494 can-am program....

Wow, now that is cool  Is that an aftermarket manifold, or FoMoCo? I've never heard of 3x2 for a Boss, let alone seen one

We had a guy in our Mustang club who was the original owner of a '69 Boss '9. It was fire engine red and unmolested as far as mods. He bought it when he was 18 (can you imagine owning a new Boss at 18!!!). Anyway, drove it for four years before he managed to blow the engine. He scrimped and scrounged and built a NASCAR spec Boss '9 with a dual four barrel intake. It had an XE part number and was a single plane unit. The carbs were 625 cfm Carter AFB's. MAN ! ! ! was that car impressive ! ! ! Talk about time warp ! ! When ever he started it in his garage, the entire house shook. He also had an 1100 Dominator for it, but I never saw it on the car.------------------

Wow! That looks stout!You probably make more horsepower with a single four barrel, you usually do. It'll impress the kiddies, though! ------------------
